I currently use Ubuntu with unattended-upgrades on all my ec2-instances, to keep any nasty holes closed, but when running apps via Elastic beanstalk i can't see any option on how to handle patches to them. The only alternative is to manually log in to them and run yum.
Have anyone thought about how to handle security patches on Elastic Beanstalk-instances?
